Bags and Potholders

I know that I haven't posted in a while. Things happened at work and I was the only one out of six employees who stayed. These past couple weeks I have been training our new manager and now I'm training two new people on top of that. Work is stressful and some days, crocheting doesn't even help.

Here is what I have done in the past couple of weeks.

 I tried my hand at making my frist bag. This one is called a market bag. I love the flower pattern on the bottom of it! It was a quick make, took me a few hours but I just love, love, loved the pattern and I'm looking for the perfect yarn to make another one.  The best part is, the pattern is free! You should check it out!
 This one is a daffodil washcloth. I left a couple of rows off because the pattern wasn't making sense. I found it in Crochet World Magazine June 2015. I love the flower on it but the rows after a very confusing, the way it was written. I think that I'm going to try and write the designer and see if it was a me thing (which it probably is).

These two potholders are my new favorite pattern for potholders. They were a quick make and they are a double thickness so it will keep your hands from burning! Something that is very much needed in my house. In fact, I think that we should wear potholder outfits when we cook. So many burns. Ha!

Let me know what you think of these projects! Also, if you have any patterns that you would like to share, feel free to leave a link in the comments below! I always love hearing from you.

You are beautiful and well loved.

  1. The market bag looks awesome! The potholders do too. But I like the bag best. My favourite potholes pattern is the one that folds on itself. They are quick to make. I like to use a G hook as the larger holed ones burn. Then again, if I had a dryer to shrink them they would be better.
